Polyamide (Nylon 6)

Not applicable

General advice: If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person

In case of inhalation of gases released from molten filament, move person into fresh air

Wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur. If burned by contact with hot material, cool molten material adhering to skin as quickly as possible with water, do not try to peel it off and seek for medical attention, if necessary, for removal and treatment of the burns

4. First aid measures

Safety data sheet — Ultimaker Nylon Page. 1

Eye contact

Ingestion

Note to physician

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately with water. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. If molten material contacts the eye, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately

Not probable. Seek medical advice in case ingestion occurs

Treat symptomatically

Burns should be treated as thermal burns. The material will come off as healing occurs; therefore immediate removal from skin is not necessary

6.4 Reference to other sections

Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). Use proper bonding and/or grounding procedures

Foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), water or dry chemical.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: not known

Burning produces obnoxious and toxic fumes: carbon oxides (COx)

Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing

Avoid contact with molten material

Product should be stored in a dry and cool place at temperatures between -20 to +30 °C. Avoid direct sunlight. Minimize moisture uptake by leaving it in a sealed package together with the supplied desiccant

Filament for 3D printing

Avoid breathing gases released from molten filament. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas

No data available

Allow molten material to solidify. Dispose of waste and residue according to local regulations

Use safety glasses for prolongated stare at printing

Good practices suggest to minimize skin contact. When material is heated, wear gloves to protect against thermal burns

If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (when applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established) an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator type: air-purifying respirator with an appropriate government approved (where applicable) air purifying filter, cartridge or canister. Contact a health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information

Follow good industrial hygiene practices

Follow good industrial hygiene practices

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) is recommended. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls that maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level
